Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 702341, 1 in x 1 in 36, Case of 100

• Aluminum oxide mineral is friable and breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges for a consistent cut
• No tools required for band changes
• Single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, conforming to flat and contoured surfaces
• Spiral band easily fits over rubber drums
• Spiral construction helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter

Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is a tensile yet strong abrasive – great for light finishing, polishing, blending and deburring on both hard and soft metals.

Recommended Applications
Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is the best product for polishing and blending flat surfaces and contours, because its spiral shape enables it to smoothly roll over these surfaces. The circular band rotates centrifugally as you move it around the workpiece and – given its small size – the abrasive can easily fit inside hard-to-reach areas. Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is great for removing parting lines, tiny imperfections and little burrs, which could otherwise be difficult to remove with a larger abrasive disc or wheel.

Special Features
The spiral construction on Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band eliminates shadow marks and chatter. Aluminum oxide mineral cuts sharp but is still friable, fragmenting under heat and pressure to reveal sharp cutting edges, so you get a consistent cut throughout the life of the abrasive. Available in grades 24 to 320 grit, you can choose the right grade for your project, depending how aggressive a scratch you desire. Coarser grades, like 24, are good for heavy stock removal, whereas finer grades, like 320, are good for metal finishing and polishing.

Tips for Optimal Use
Standard Abrasives™ Spiral Bands are intended for use with rubber drums. The single ply or "single thickness" abrasive fits snugly around the drum like a glove. Compared to 2- or 3-ply thicknesses, the single ply is a bit more flexible and conformable, which makes it a good match for contoured surfaces. It is important for both the drum and the abrasive to have the same nominal diameter to prevent skipping and bumping.

Rather than deflecting or skidding over the substrate, the Spiral Band stays in constant contact with the workpiece to swiftly rid the surface of little burrs. The maximum allowable RPM for spiral bands is the same as the maximum RPM of the drum, provided the drum and band have the same nominal diameter. Typically, the rubber drum attaches to portable drills, die grinders, straight shaft and angle grinders. The great news is, the drum requires no extra tools for band changes.

Removing contaminants from flat and contoured surfaces is smooth – in finish and operation.

Brand And Model Precision

The Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 702341 is designed for reliable performance. This product features the exact model number 702341 and brand Standard Abrasives, ensuring you get the quality you expect from a trusted name.

Its aluminum oxide mineral composition provides sharp cutting edges that maintain consistency. This makes the 1 in x 1 in spiral band ideal for detailed finishing tasks.

Dimensions And Size

Measuring 1 inch by 1 inch, this spiral band fits perfectly on small surfaces and tight spots. The compact size allows it to reach hard-to-access areas where larger abrasives can't fit.

Its single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, conforming well to both flat and contoured surfaces. This flexibility helps deliver smooth results on various shapes.

Grade And Abrasive Options

The product comes in a 36 grit grade, which balances effective stock removal with surface finishing. This grade is suitable for light finishing, polishing, blending, and deburring on metals.

Available in multiple grades from 24 to 320, the 36 grit option offers a moderate scratch level, making it versatile for many metalworking tasks.

Format And System Benefits

The spiral band format easily fits over rubber drums, allowing for quick and tool-free band changes. This system saves time and effort during abrasive replacement.

Its spiral construction helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter, resulting in a smoother finish. The band rotates centrifugally, enhancing its ability to polish and blend surfaces evenly.

Pack Size And Usage

This product is sold in a pack of 100 pieces per case, making it convenient for bulk use in workshops or production environments. Having a large quantity ensures you won’t run out quickly during projects.

The spiral bands work best with rubber drums attached to portable drills, die grinders, or angle grinders. Their single ply thickness offers flexibility, especially on contoured surfaces.
